Embarcadero Announces New Platform for Successful Data Governance

Embarcadero Technologies, a leading provider of software solutions for application and database development, announced its new Metadata Governance strategy, the industry's only solution that lets organizations leverage diverse data -- easily and practically -- across Information Management and the software development lifecycle for successful data governance initiatives. The strategy spans the entire Embarcadero product portfolio using metadata discovery, management and syndication. Alongside this the company released ER/Studio XE3, a major upgrade to the award-winning ER/Studio line of database modeling tools that significantly enhances enterprise modeling and impact analysis for interpreting a wider variety of metadata more accurately.

And it's only going to get more complicated with analysts forecasting an explosion of mobile, cloud, transactional and behavioral data over the coming years.

Embarcadero's Metadata Governance Platform: The Onramp to Successful Data GovernanceThe importance of metadata in data governance is critical to extracting value from an organization's data by providing the linkage between the business need or desire (policy) and the information or data value.
